I appreciate the voices of wisdom here and will take the collective advice and not buy the 370Z for the time being. I'll do some more research on other cars, and look harder for older Miatas.

I appreciate everyone's advice and will let you know if I have any other questions. 370Zs are beautiful cars and I'm kinda sad I won't be getting one (was going to get the black 2010 370z at Hardin Hyundai in Anaheim).

For those who've been less than helpful, I suggest you ponder how you respond to newbies on the forum. As with all things in life, everyone has to start somewhere, and the guy you offer help to today might be the same person who is able to teach you something in a couple of years. Such is the meaning of Community.
Adam,

its not that we are trying to be less than helpful, its just that there have been a number of trolls lately. Your post indicates a few contradictory statements that make it seem less than legitimate. A month ago someone claimed to sell their Ferrari and purchase a Z..

1. You are looking for $60k sports cars
2. You have the money to go to skip Barber (1 day course starts at $1500)
3. You are looking for a car to learn on ($25k beater of sorts)
4. You are looking to race the car and support tires, maintenance costs, etc..

5. You are concerned with losing 2-4k - ??


The money you will lose on the transaction price of the $25k vehicle will be far outweighed by the Tax (8% = $2000), Tires ($400-800 per set), Insurance of owning additional car, gas, etc...
